The only other option I see is to add a command-line option to give a
filename into which the response from the server gets written. 
That doesn't win an prize for elegance, though.

Another question for the command-line tool: 

If the server returns an error, the user is dumped into the editor.
What is the user supposed to do if he wants to abort the operation?
Clear the file? ^C doesn't work as that affects the editor and not
the script.
